With its easy visa process, warm hospitality, and proximity to India, Saudi is the perfect choice for your next family getaway.

So, here's a guide to the best family-friendly spots in Saudi

1. Hot Air Ballooning over Hegra in AlUla

There's something magical about drifting above AlUla at sunrise. As the sky shifts from deep blue to gold, a hot air balloon rises over the desert, revealing ancient rock-carved tombs, winding canyons, and surreal sandstone formations—with aerial views of Hegra, Saudi's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. For families, AlUla offers a mix of adventure and wonder that's hard to match. With thousands of years of history carved into its landscapes, every view tells a story. And the best way to take it all in is from 4,000 feet above—where the horizon stretches for miles and sites like Hegra reveal over 110 rock-cut tombs rising from the desert. It's more than just a ride; it's a memory your family will carry long after landing.
